Lynch has made a great impression on his teammates through training camp thus far, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis: Lynch's practice habits drew some ire during his final couple years with the Seahawks, but the tailback has not missed a single session since joining his hometown Raiders. Along with building a strong locker room presence, Lynch's performance on the field has reminded teammates of his Pro-Bowl talent. The 31-year-old reportedly got the attention of onlookers with a burst of speed following a reception in Sunday's practice, heightening the excitement surrounding his introduction to an…read more

Lynch shouldn't have to shoulder a huge workload, Jimmy Durkin of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis: While seemingly locked in as the top rusher in a potent offense, the 31-year-old Lynch probably won't approach the type of workloads he handled in Seattle, where he had 280 or more carries and 313 or more touches each year from 2011 to 2014. The Raiders figure to mix in explosive second-year backs Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington, with fullback Jamize Olawale potentially handling some of the passing-down work. Lynch should still have plenty of chances to find the painted area even if his…read more

Taking part in team drills

Lynch began taking part in team drills during Tuesday's OTA, Alex Flanagan of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: After sitting out the first week of OTAs, the bruising veteran was back out on the field Tuesday, taking part in a variety of drills with the other running backs. It was originally believed Lynch would sit out for the entirety of OTAs in order to continue learning the offense, but it appears he will at least get some conditioning in this week.

Lynch is being held out of OTAs by the Raiders' coaching staff, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Lynch isn't dealing with any injuries or health concerns, but the Raiders are keeping the 31-year-old on the sidelines during OTAs as he continues to learn a new offensive system. He may not suit up for practice until training camp, but for now, seventh-round pick Elijah Hood figures to see additional reps at running back as Lynch is eased back in after a lengthy layoff from the NFL.

"Up in the air" about returning, according to report

Lynch is "up in the air" about returning to football, according to Pro Football Talk.

Analysis: The report cites unnamed sources "with knowledge of the situation" but doesn't give any details on Lynch's motive or level of interest in returning. The Seahawks hold Lynch's rights.

Published: Thu, Sep 8 at 6:19pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Lynch officially announced his retirement Monday in an interview with Sports Illustrated. "No, I'm done. I'm done," he said. "I enjoyed my time playing, now it's time to watch my cousins do their thing."

Analysis: Lynch's agent wasn't as convinced that his client is done playing, but it appears the running back has firmly made up his mind. Since he signed a two-year contract last March, Lynch's rights would remain with the Seahawks in the event he elects to return. The 30-year-old finishes his career with 9,112 rushing yards (36th in NFL history) and 83 touchdowns (52nd) over nine seasons.

Lynch was placed on the reserve/retired list Thursday by the Seahawks, the Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lynch has not filed retirement papers with the league, though he intends to retire. The Seahawks' move was procedural, having to do with the salary cap. They still retain his rights should he decide to play this season. Thomas Rawls enters training camp as the starter, but the Seahawks drafted three running backs and re-signed Christine Michael to give him competition.

Lynch's agent confirmed with the Associated Press on Monday that the running back intends to retire, Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Every leak over the last two days has pointed to Lynch calling it a career, from Adam Schefter of ESPN stating Sunday that the RB has shared his thought process with teammates, Lynch himself tweeting a 'peace' emoji and a picture of green cleats hanging from a nail during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 50, and the Seahawks' official site acknowledging the announcement shortly thereafter. The comments from Lynch's agent appear to be the cherry on top of the sundae, but the media-shy enigma…read more

Marshawn Lynch: Suggests that he will retire

Lynch suggested on his twitter account that he plans to retire this offseason.

Analysis: Lynch tweeted a hand making the 'peace' symbol, accompanied by a picture of green cleats hanging from a nail. Given the timing of his announcement -- during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl -- there's perhaps some chance that Lynch is just messing with the media. However, it seems far more likely that he really does intend to retire, as there have been rumors to that effect since the end of Seattle's season.

Published: Sun, Feb 7 at 7:00pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Lynch has shared his intention to retire with both teammates and some within the Seahawks' organization.

Analysis: Lynch had been a model of reliability during his time in Seattle, playing in 85 of 86 games between his arrival in 2010 and last year's Super Bowl. However, the additional reps taken on due to successive deep playoff runs appeared to take a toll in 2015, as he suffered through a hamstring injury early and abdominal surgery that combined to hold him out of nine regular season contests. After staying home during the Seahawks' wild-card win at Minnesota, he returned for the divisional round in…read more

Lynch is leaning toward retirement, according to Seahawks' general manager John Schneider, The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lynch's future with the Seahawks stands in considerable question to begin this offseason, but in speaking about Lynch during a radio interview, Schneider said, "I'm under the impression he is leaning towards retirement." That revelation comes as the Seahawks are reportedly prepared to release Lynch, or at least require him to restructure his contract ahead of next season. An enigma himself, Lynch may ultimately supersede any move by deciding to retire anyway. That being said, as usual with…read more

Lynch is unlikely to be back with the Seahawks at his scheduled 2016 salary, 710 AM ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis: Assuming he wants to continue his career, which shouldn't be taken for granted, Lynch will likely be asked to take a pay cut or else be outright released. He's still a difficult man to tackle, but with Thomas Rawls (ankle) coming off an impressive rookie season, the Seahawks have an attractive alternative at the position, assuming Rawls' recovery from a broken ankle goes well.

Lynch rushed for 20 yards on six carries and added two catches off of three target for 15 yards in Sunday's loss to Carolina.

Analysis: Falling behind by so much so early no doubt impacted Seattle's game plan as the team rushed just 12 times, half of which went to Lynch. Sunday was Lynch's first game action since Nov. 15 as he was sidelined for two months with an abdominal injury. Lynch has played on a year-to-year basis recently and, following his worst season in Seattle, it wouldn't be a surprise if Sunday was his final game in uniform.

Marshawn Lynch: Active Sunday

Analysis: The wait is over. For the first time since Nov. 15, Lynch will lead the Seahawks' rushing attack against a Panthers defense that limited him to 17 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 6.

Marshawn Lynch: Will play Sunday

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Lynch (abdomen) will play in Sunday's divisional round game at Carolina.

Analysis: After practicing in full for the second week in a row, Lynch was seen walking to the team buses and indeed made the subsequent cross-country trip. If he's deemed active Sunday, he'll be making his first appearance since Nov. 15, though DFS players are advised to check in prior to the Seahawks' 1:05 PM ET kickoff.

Lynch (abdomen), who is listed as probable for Sunday's playoff game against the Panthers, was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Analysis: Lynch is also reportedly on track to travel to Carolina, another indication that he stands a good chance of making his first appearance since mid-November on Sunday. Should that transpire, Lynch would represent a nice boost to the Seahawks' backfield, where Christine Michael has featured most of late.

Marshawn Lynch: Listed as probable this week

Lynch (abdomen) is listed as probable for Sunday's playoff game against the Panthers.

Analysis: Per ESPN.com, Lynch -- who was a full practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday -- has indicated that he is ready to return to game action for the first time since Nov. 15, a notion supported by his official probable designation. How close to a full workload he'll be up for in his anticipated re-entry to the lineup, however, is uncertain. In any case, Christine Michael, who carried 21 times for 70 yards against the Vikings last weekend, is on hand to spell Lynch on Sunday when he needs…read more

Marshawn Lynch: Practices in full Wednesday

Lynch (abdomen) practiced in full Wednesday, Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis: Despite taking part in every drill -- and flashing back to a week ago -- Lynch has been deemed a day-to-day proposition for the divisional round by head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks don't take the field until Sunday, though, which makes it somewhat difficult to trust in Lynch's availability.

Published: Wed, Jan 13 at 4:19pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: Lynch's activity level will be confirmed once drills wrap up, but head coach Pete Carroll reiterated that the running back remains day-to-day. If another game-time call comes to pass, the Seahawks' 1:05 PM ET kickoff Sunday is a detriment to those making DFS decisions, though Christine Michael would be the team's lead back in the event of another DNP from Lynch.

Marshawn Lynch: Could be game-time call

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Lynch's (abdomen) availability for Sunday's divisional-round matchup at Carolina "really could" come down to a game-time call, Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: All signs pointed to Lynch taking the field for the first time since Nov. 15 this past Sunday, namely Carroll's steadfastness and full practices throughout the week. Upon completing drills Friday, though, Lynch told the Seahawks that he didn't think he could "physically go" for the contest, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR. As the week progresses, the team will go "one day at a time" with Lynch, which backs up Carroll's game-time contention.

Marshawn Lynch: Ruled out for Wild Card game

Lynch (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Vikings, Danny O'Neil of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lynch appeared to be on track to return to action Sunday after practicing fully all week, but he did not travel with his teammates to Minnesota, and will remain sidelined another week. Lynch could be available for next week's Divisional Round if Seattle advances, but the Seahawks will first have to make it through this week's matchup with the Vikings relying on Christine Micheal and Bryce Brown in the run game.

Published: Fri, Jan 8 at 8:38pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Lynch (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Analysis: Lynch returned to practice (in full) this week following a seven-game absence, and though it's generally expected that he'll play Sunday, the questionable designation given to him by the Seahawks in advance of Wild Card weekend makes the running back's status worth tracking in advance of Sunday's 1:05 ET kickoff.

Marshawn Lynch: Full practice Wednesday

Analysis: Since Lynch returned to the team Monday, head coach Pete Carroll has been adamant that the running back would play in Sunday's Wild Card game at Minnesota. Carroll went one step further Wednesday, stating before practice that Lynch would be "full go" in drills. After upholding his end of the bargain, Lynch appears poised to run rampant for the first time since Week 10.

Marshawn Lynch: Slated for full practice Wednesday

Head coach Pete Carroll relayed Wednesday that Lynch (sports hernia) finished Wednesday's walk-through and will be a "full go" at practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lynch's recovery from sports hernia surgery appears to be coming full circle, but he must step on the practice field and prove Carroll's claim that the running back is "fine." Expect the Seahawks to clarify his activity level upon the release of Wednesday's injury report.

Marshawn Lynch: Will return to practice Wednesday

Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Lynch will take part in Wednesday's practice with the intention of returning for Sunday's Wild Card game at Minnesota, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lynch is in the latter stages of his intensive rehab from sports hernia surgery, but practice will be the final test of his current level of health. If he returns Sunday, he should serve in his normal workhorse role, which has equated to 17.8 carries and 2.2 catches per game in parts of six seasons with the Seahawks.

Lynch (abdomen) could return to the Seahawks on Monday, NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Lynch has been rehabbing in the Bay Area since having sports hernia surgery in late November, but could rejoin his teammates this week as the Seahawks prepare for Sunday's playoff game against the Vikings. Should that transpire, Lynch's status would be worthwhile to monitor during the coming days, and his presence would bolster an increasingly dangerous Seahawks team.

Marshawn Lynch: Won't play in Week 17

Lynch (abdomen) won't be available for Sunday's game at Arizona, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

Analysis: Lynch's offsite rehab program continues following sports hernia surgery on Nov. 25, though head coach Pete Carroll told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site Wednesday that the running back is in its "final mode." While his return will be delayed at least another week, Carroll believes Lynch will likely be able to suit up on Wild Card weekend. In the meantime, though, the Seahawks will employ a group effort to sustain a semblance of a running game.

Published: Wed, Dec 30 at 1:02pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Coach Pete Carroll relayed Monday that Lynch (abdomen) has a chance to be back at practice Wednesday "if today and tomorrow go well."

Analysis: Lynch's status for Week 17's game against the Cardinals is still quite cloudy, but a return to practice by Wednesday would be a highly encouraging development in his recovery, at the very least. While it's too early to get an accurate read as to whether Lynch has a realistic shot to play this weekend, a return to the practice field in some capacity this week could well foreshadow his potential return to the mix for the postseason.

Published: Mon, Dec 28 at 3:38pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: Lynch, who had abdomen surgery nearly a month ago, will not be rushed back into action, especially after the Seahawks clinched a playoff berth Sunday. With him unavailable for fantasy owners, Christine Michael and Bryce Brown figure to handle the bulk of the Seahawks' carries to close the regular season, with veteran Fred Jackson working as a pass-catcher out of the backfield.

Published: Mon, Dec 21 at 10:04am by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Lynch (abdomen) does not have a timetable to return following abdomen surgery nearly three weeks ago, the Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Lynch might not make it back for the regular season. With backup Thomas Rawls suffering a season-ending injury Sunday against the Ravens, DuJuan Harris, who was signed off the practice squad three weeks ago, and Bryce Brown, who was signed Monday, will compete for the starting job. They likely will share carries. Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Fred Jackson will remain in his third-down role.

Published: Mon, Dec 14 at 1:31pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Lynch, who had surgery on an abdominal injury two weeks ago, is week-to-week, according to coach Pete Carroll.

Analysis: "It's a day-to-day thing that really will be week-to-week," Carroll said. "Not this week for sure. We'll see what happens next week." With rookie Thomas Rawls running well in Lynch's place, it wouldn't be surprising if the Seahawks held Lynch out until Week 17 against the Cardinals or even the playoffs.

Marshawn Lynch: May need more than 3-4 weeks

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll suggested Monday that Lynch's (abdomen) initial timetable of 3-4 weeks may have been overly optimistic, 710 AM ESPN Seattle reports. "The reports are that he's doing really well," Carroll said. "It's so much to ask him to jump back after three weeks. I don't even know how we could think that way, but this is week three starting up, so we'll see how it goes."

Analysis: Though not quite unrealistic, the initial timetable was undoubtedly optimistic, as recovery from sports hernia surgery often takes around six weeks. Now two weeks removed from the procedure, Lynch can be all but ruled out for Sunday's game in Baltimore, and it sounds as if Week 15 would also be pushing it. Undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls has proven to be a more-than-capable replacement as the lead back, with Fred Jackson handling most of the passing-down work.

Marshawn Lynch: Out 3-4 weeks after surgery

Lynch underwent sports hernia surgery Wednesday and will be out three to four weeks, the Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll didn't rule out that Lynch could be done for the season, but he said doctors were "very optimistic" that they fixed the issue and that Lynch can return quickly. Thomas Rawls will start while Lynch is out.

Marshawn Lynch: Reportedly undergoes sports hernia surgery

Analysis: While the Seahawks have yet to confirm the reported procedure, Rapoport suggests that the "hope is for (a) late December" return for Lynch. Look for the team to address the running back's situation later Wednesday, though for now it looks safe to assume that Thomas Rawls will have an opportunity to head the Seahawks' ground game in the coming weeks.

Marshawn Lynch: Expected to miss at least four weeks

Lynch (abdomen) is expected to miss at least four weeks, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports.

Analysis: The Seahawks have yet to confirm, but this backs up a prior report from ESPN's Adam Schefter which indicated Lynch would be out multiple weeks. Lynch saw a sports hernia specialist Tuesday, and it seems the decision was made to get him under the knife as soon as possible in hopes of getting him back strong in late December. In the meantime, Thomas Rawls will shoulder the load for Seattle.

Published: Tue, Nov 24 at 9:07pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Lynch is expected to need "a couple weeks to see how he does" and "to see if he can recover" from his abdominal injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: While the Seahawks have not provided official word as to Lynch's status following his visit to a specialist, it sounds like they may be content to ride it out for a few weeks and see if Lynch can avoid sports hernia surgery. Schefter reported earlier Tuesday that Lynch will likely miss Week 12. Thomas Rawls is locked in as the primary running back for Seattle while Lynch is out.

Marshawn Lynch: Not expected to play Sunday

The Seahawks aren't expecting Lynch (abdomen) to suit up Sunday against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Lynch is slated for an examination Tuesday with a sports hernia specialist in Philadelphia, where he'll learn the extent of his abdominal injury. Ultimately, the doctor's decision will have ramifications in both the short and long term, with surgery likely ending his season. In any case, he'll likely be sidelined this Sunday, thereby handing another start to Thomas Rawls.

Marshawn Lynch: Traveling cross-country for evaluation

Lynch (abdomen) is traveling to Philadelphia to be evaluated by Dr. William C. Meyers, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Stephen Cohen reports.

Analysis: Dr. Meyers, a sports hernia expert, evaluated Jacksonville's Allen Hurns last week. Hurns has remained effective while playing through his hernia, and Lynch is presumably dealing with the same injury. Lynch played well in a Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, but he was then inactive for Sunday's win over the 49ers. Surgery would likely rule him out for the rest of the season, though he presumably still hopes it can be avoided, or at least put off until the offseason. Fill-in starter Thomas Rawls…read more

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Lynch (abdomen) will be "on the more positive side of questionable" for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis: Even though he missed the entire week of practice, Lynch will be listed as questionable and will likely come down to a game-time decision for a second straight week, though it appears his status isn't quite so cloudy this time around. Despite reportedly dealing with significant pain, Lynch ended up playing 48 of the 61 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, though the game flow limited his workload to eight carries and one reception. He did look like his usual self on the limited…read more

Marshawn Lynch: Misses second straight practice

Analysis: The Seahawks are likely just trying to help Lynch manage the pain, but a second consecutive absence does create some concern. Lynch doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to play, but a Friday return would still be an excellent sign. Lynch played through the injury Sunday against the Cardinals, handling 48 of the 61 offensive snaps. If he doesn't play against San Francisco, Thomas Rawls will lead the Seattle backfield, with Fred Jackson getting most of the passing-down work.

Marshawn Lynch: No practice Wednesday

Lynch (abdomen) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Analysis: Lynch continues to be plagued by the abdominal injury sustained last Thursday, which has been accompanied by too much discomfort to practice. However, he gutted out the ailment Sunday against the Cardinals, logging 48 of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps. While he garnered only eight rushes and two targets, owners were certainly pleased with his three-yard touchdown jaunt early in the fourth quarter.

Lynch (abdomen) had eight carries for 42 yards and a touchdown, adding one catch for eight yards on two targets in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: Listed as questionable and ultimately a game-time decision, Lynch didn't seem too bothered by his abdomen injury, as he played nearly all of his team's offensive snaps. However, the Cardinals dominated time of possession and held a multi-score lead for much of the game, which left Lynch with an unusually low number of touches. Barring any news of a setback, he should be in for a larger workload against a much weaker defense when the Seahawks face the 49ers in Week 11.

Marshawn Lynch: Active Sunday night

Lynch (abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.

Lynch (abdomen) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Analysis: Lynch reportedly felt pain in his abdomen toward the end of Thursday's practice, and he was added to the injury report Friday with a questionable designation for Sunday's game. Lynch has played through various injuries throughout his time in Seattle, but if he's unable to go, Thomas Rawls will likely get the start.

Marshawn Lynch: Expected to play

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he thinks Lynch (abdomen) will be okay for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lynch felt something in his abdomen at the end of Thursday's practice and was subsequently limited at Friday's session. He thus earned the questionable designation on the final injury report, but with the Seahawks badly in need of a win, it will be surprising if Lynch doesn't play. In the event of an unexpected absence, Thomas Rawls would lead the Seattle backfield.

Lynch (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Liz Mathews of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Analysis: Lynch's status on Friday's injury report is somewhat concerning, as he was previously listed for "non-injury reasons." It appears he picked up an abdominal ailment either Thursday or Friday, but there's been no indication from Seattle reporters that he's in legitimate danger of missing Sunday's crucial game.

Lynch (hamstring) ran 21 times for 71 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win at Dallas.

Analysis: Even though Lynch was somewhat held in check, posting a long rush of just 12 yards, he looked spry and powerful on numerous runs. The veteran RB missed a few games with a hamstring injury, but he seems to be back healthy, carrying the ball 65 times over the last three games.

Analysis: With 10 days to rest up since his first 100-yard outing of the season on Oct. 22, Lynch should be good to roll with in Week 8. He'll attempt to keep up the pace against a Cowboys defense that has allowed 5.1 YPC and five rushing touchdowns to running backs over the last four games.
